Yes.
Thanks.  Up until how long before departure do you reckon change/cancellation is possible?  An hour? Two hours?  TIA

There's no cutoff time.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Cool! So you mean I can technically wait till a half hour before take-off for  a delay, then call United to cancel and refund?
Think such things work?

I'm not talking about canceling within 24.  This is about getting a free cancellation because of a delay (not something you would know 7 days to departure!).

On the money, Dan.

I just changed an international flight less than an hour to departure (I never checked in, of course), online.
